A Teaching Philosophy Straight from the Heart
For Pooja Ma’am, teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. Her philosophy can be encapsulated in one simple principle: Give me your 100%, and you’ll have my 1000%.
Her lectures are known for their razor-sharp focus on concepts and content, a combination she believes is the key to mastering NEET’s tough MCQs.
“Concepts are like swimming or cycling—once you master them, they become a part of your system,” she says with conviction. Her unique “PPF strategy” is a game-changer for students:
• P = Past: Revise weak topics from before.

The Impact She Creates
Students who attend her lectures never want to miss a class. They don’t just respect her—they genuinely love her. Even her reputation as “the strictest teacher” is one they admire. “She makes sure we stay on track,” says one of her students, “and her lessons stick with us long after class is over.”
Whether it’s ensuring students maintain proper diets and sleep schedules or reminding them to avoid unproductive behaviors like yawning in class, Pooja Ma’am goes above and beyond to prepare her students holistically.
Mantras for NEET Success
• NEET is like KBC—it’s KBD: Kaun Banega Doctor.
• REVISION is a must! Revise within 24 hours, or the lesson vanishes.
• Avoid the twin pitfalls of RTS (Rattu Totta Syndrome) and ETS (Extra Thinking Syndrome). Logical thinking is your best tool.
• Stay within the syllabus—overdose and underdose are equally harmful.
Beyond the Classroom
When she’s not teaching, Pooja Ma’am finds joy in painting, reading, driving, and watching movies. These creative pursuits add to her well-rounded personality, making her relatable and inspiring to her students.
Words from Pooja Ma’am
“I am an attention-seeker teacher—I need 100% focus from my students while I’m teaching. NEET requires discipline, logic, and equal attention to all three subjects. If you put in the effort, success is inevitable.”

She’s an inspiration, the way she has solved my every doubt with so much patience and after that she always made sure by looking at my face saying Nahi samjha? ,I still miss her classes she says yawn Krna allowed nhi hai , but honestly I never felt sleepy coz everytime she entered classroom we all used to be so excited,she makes learning so easy .. biology never felt like burden or pressure because of her.. thank you mam aapne finally doctor bana hi diya
I remember what ma’am told me on just my 2nd day for being late to her class – “Doctors should be the last person in the world to be late. Think of coming to class as going to OT; you get late, your patient dies. Simple.”
That was the last time I got late for any class during my whole coaching.
Ma’am is the last person to ever scold anyone meaninglessly. In fact that indicates just how much attention she’s paying to you. So it becomes your duty to pay atleast the same amount of attention to her class.
Thanks a lot KS Dadar branch and every teacher there for helping me achieve my goal and getting into my dream college.
Pooja ma’am is the reason why I am going to be a doctor. Her concepts made my fundamentals and basics very strong that till date ,I am confident ki no one can shake me in concepts. Her revision strategies on weak chps and weak topics were on point and made a huge difference in the end. Her way of scolding never demotivates you rather its for your own Good to be back on track. So Thank you Kalra Shukla classes for having Pooja ma’am as our bio faculty
